Chicken And Shiitake Marsala Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a sharp chef's knife to slice them horizontally into two even pieces (cutlets). Transfer the cutlets, one at a time, to a ziploc bag. Using a meat hammer or a heavy rolling pin, gently pound each cutlet to a 1/4-inch thickness.
• Transfer all the pounded cutlets to a bigger ziploc bag. Add salt and pepper to taste, seal and massage to season. Then, add the flour and massage again so every piece is thoroughly coated.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Tap off the excess flour of each cutlet and place them in the skillet, cooking - turning once - until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and reserve in a plate.
• Add more olive oil if needed. Then, sauté the shallot and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the butter and, once melted, add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their juices and gain some color. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, cooking until the sauce thickens.
• Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the chopped parsley and butter. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Add the chicken cutlets back to the skillet, swirling them so they get coated in the sauce. Cook just to warm them through.
• Serve immediately, with rice, mashed potatoes or buttered pasta!

As chicken is cooked, set aside on a plate and loosely tent with foil to keep it warm.

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• For the chicken breasts: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
• Mix together the salt, pepper and flour in a bowl, then transfer to a shallow pan for dredging. Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour right before you put them in the pan.
• Heat a saute pan over high heat. When it's good and hot, add the grapeseed oil and then the dredged chicken breasts (do not over crowd the pan, cook in batches if needed). Cook until the chicken is golden brown and seared on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook on the reverse side until cooked through, another 3 to 5 minutes depending on thickness. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest a few minutes before plating.
• For the Marsala sauce: Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the grapeseed oil, then the garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds before adding the sliced cremini, oyster and shiitake mushrooms. Saute until tender. Add the rosemary and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Deglaze the pan with the Marsala and cook until the wine is reduced by half. Add the demi-glace, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and swirl in the butter to incorporate it. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Transfer the chicken to serving plates and divide the sauce between the plates, spooning the mushrooms and sauce over the breasts. Garnish with chopped parsley.
